A year's worth of inflation-adjusted wage gains vanished in just four months, leaving workers little better off than when President Trump returned to office. #TrumpLovesInflation

As we say BYE to Gov. Reynolds, let's remember that her attacks on our public schools, health and workers would not be possible without the MAGA legislature.

You own a Koch brothers backed PRIVATE school in Kansas, Zach.
You support the school voucher scam. You support defunding public education in favor of FOR PROFIT private schools.
That's NOT what Iowa voters want.

Vote NO in November on the constitutional amendment that would require a 2/3 majority vote by the legislature to raise income taxes. If it would pass the state would likely need to raise the sales tax which would place a larger burden on low income Iowans. open.substack.com/pub/edtibb…

Corporate profits are taking the largest chunk of America's total income since a brief period of the early 1950s, as the slice of the pie going to worker pay has shrunk to the thinnest on record. #trumptastrophe

George Washington refused to place his image on U.S. currency while he was alive because he believed it resembled the behavior of a monarch. And still President Donald Trump is proposing a new $250 bill with his picture on it. #TRUMPYEARS

A new report says Americans are falling behind on debt payments at the fastest pace since the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, with serious credit card delinquencies rising to 13.1% in the first quarter of 2026. #TrumpInsiderTrades

1.8 BILLION for Trump allies & January 6th rioters, but there's not enough for Iowa families? Our reps cut healthcare & SNAP claiming we can't afford it. Now there's $$ for a corruption slush fund. Iowa reps: stand up. Say no. Fight for YOUR constituents. bit.ly/4urjoIi

Because, of course a urologist is leading the charge on infectious disease. Admiral Brian Christine, a urologist known for specializing in penile implants, is leading the federal response to the ongoing hantavirus outbreak linked to the cruise ship MV Hondius

Thanks Trump. Ground beef averaged about $6.86 a pound nationally in March, up roughly 20% from a year earlier, while steak prices have climbed more than 60% since 2020. #TrumpTariff

No truer words. Trump warning voters about risks of electing someone unfit for office. He said, “I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden, you're stuck with a man who's a moron.”

I can't believe we're even having this conversation: In the last ten years, NOBODY has engaged in more violent political rhetoric than Donald Trump.

Ashley Hinson sponsored a bill that would change the definition of “hours worked” to exclude education and training. That would have a huge impact on workers. Fortunately it failed but remember Hinson is no friend of workers.

Trump loves having things named after him so I think we should help. Instead of inflation, it's Trumpflation. Instead of pedophile it's Trumpofile. #TrumpRegime
